    I like that: I must remember it.

    I've long said, while you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear you can make a perfectly respectable pigskin wallet.

    Looks like a Renault 4CV to me.

    (Apparently it had the reputation as the world's only four-door, two-seat car :D)

    My brother in law collects Citroens, He has five of them, well actually one is a Panhard. This is in Denver.

    I never owned one but we rode around in a DS when I was a kid in Europe. Dad always wanted to buy one and hop it up with a four cylinder reverse rotation Chevy II or Mercruiser but never did.

    There was a kid I knew that had the rarest of the rare, the four wheel drive twin engine 2CV. His father sent it to the crusher when he was in the Navy, I don't think they ever spoke again until the father died over that.

    the rare 2cv is a 2cv sahara, orginal produced by citroen a twin engine 4x4! verry light weight. there are a few orignals left, but many people make replica's of them.
